Finishing & Engraving

  • Watch connoisseurs can identify an A. Lange & Söhne movement at first sight. Each component is decorated with its own specific type of finissage, whether or not it is visible through the sapphire-crystal caseback. No matter how small it might be, each part must comply with rigorous artisanal and aesthetic standards. It takes several months of practice just to perfectly execute a flat polished finish, while in chamfering, great emphasis is placed on assuring that the edges are not only bevelled to the same angle but also to the same width. A special type of finish is reserved for the balance cock: it is engraved with the Lange-style floral pattern that makes each Lange watch unique.

    I can't be the only one who'd love to see a real time build of a A. Lange & Söhne, surely?

    I'm lucky enough to own an 1815 Up/Down, and it really is a work of art. Even when I'm not wearing it, I'll take it out of the case and hold it under a light with a loupe, and I can spend a lot of time just trying to take in every detail. It's incredible.

    This is an honor and a privilege to be able to see others do the fine methodical works of fine finishing, for us it is pleasing and very relaxing to do this work each day.
    Thank you for sharing it, Lance & Patrick.

    Art. This is why the watch is worth what it costs. Why do people pay millions for Picasso? In the end it's just some paint on paper. You don't buy this to tell time. It's art.

    Anyone know what that thing on the drill press was to make the circle patterns on the movement (1:48)

      @antonhelsgaun 5 лет назад +1

      it looks like some sort of sanding sponge, probably made for the purpose

    • @deeremeyer1749
      @deeremeyer1749 5 лет назад +1

      Its some sort of "cutter" whether its a tiny "end mill" or an "abrasive cutter" aka "grinder" It's cutting tiny "chips" which are the "swarf" that end up around the "machined" area. Google "perlage" or "engine turning" tools and you'll probably find out. My guess is that its a tiny mill but I'm going to Google it and see how good of a guesser I am.

      You're trolling, right? Almost as good, meaning "blows basically every equivalently priced swiss watch out of the fuckin' water."

    • @rahularun1834
      @rahularun1834 6 лет назад +19

      There was no need for that comment. Lange makes beautiful pieces. That is a fact. Maybe you like Swiss companies more, I don't know, but there's no need to say that it's not as good as a Swiss watch. Because in my opinion, Lange makes the most beautiful movements of all companies.
